Tip of the Week from Family Tree Magazine
Finding Probate Records
The first step to finding wills and probate is determining where the records were filed. Probate is filed in the county courthouse or town hall where the deceased owned property or last resided—not necessarily where he died.
You'll find probate courts and records called by different names in different states. In New York, they're surrogates courts; Louisiana calls them succession records and puts them in district courts; and in Mississippi, wills are in chancery court.
Not all probate records are indexed, but if you can find an index online or in a book, you'll learn the estate settlement date and the probate packet's location in court records. Check the county or state archives website and run a place search of the Family History Library catalog on the county name, then click the Probate heading.

Press Release
Do you have an ancestor who came to your county, or even Ohio, during its formative years? Or an ancestor who served in the Civil War? On May 11, 2010, at 7 pm at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 410 Taylor Street, Delta, the Fulton County Genealogical Society presents, "Applying to a Lineage Society," by Nancy Dzierzawski. Ms. Dzierzawski is past president of the Fulton County Genealogical Society, and a member of several lineage societies. Currently, the society offers three different lineage programs for Fulton County members: First Families of Fulton County, Ohio, for those who can prove ancestry to an individual who lived in Fulton County prior to December 31, 1860; Civil War Families of Fulton County, Ohio, for those who can prove ancestry to an individual who served in the Civil War; and Centennial Families of Fulton County, Ohio, for those who can prove ancestry to an individual who had lived in Fulton County 100 years prior to the application date. The society also supports those who wish to join any of the four lineage societies offered by the Ohio Genealogical Society. Anyone interested in honoring their ancestors by joining a lineage society will want to attend this free program.
